[0032] This utility model provides a network cable unlocking and locking device with a small and simple structure. It can also lock and manage network cables in use and make the unlocking and locking status of the network cable unlocking and locking device visible.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a network cable unlocking / locking device, which includes: a lock housing 100, a slider assembly 200, a lock hole 210 for inserting an unlocking key 500, and a network cable mating hole 400 for inserting a network cable 600. The lock housing 100 includes a mounting cavity 110, and the slider assembly 200 is disposed within the mounting cavity 110. The slider assembly 200 includes a locking part 240, which can abut or separate from the spring arm 610 of the network cable 600's crystal head. The lock hole 210 is disposed in the slider assembly 200. The network cable mating hole 400 is connected to the lock housing 100, such as... Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the network cable mating hole 400 includes a cavity and a protrusion 410 facing the bottom of the network cable 600 RJ45 connector. The protrusion 410 is located inside the cavity, allowing the network cable 600 to be inserted into the cavity. When the network cable 600 is inserted into the network cable mating hole 400, the RJ45 connector boss 620 and the protrusion 410 abut against each other.

[0034] The locking part 240 includes an unlocked position and a locked position. In the locked position, the locking part 240 abuts against the spring arm 610 of the network cable 600 crystal head, and the network cable crystal head boss 620 and the protrusion 410 are interlocked, so that the network cable 600 is confined within the network cable mating hole 400. In the unlocked position, the locking part 240 separates from the spring arm 610 of the network cable 600 crystal head, and the cavity's accommodating height increases, allowing the network cable 600 to move within the network cable mating hole 400.

[0035] The present invention provides a slider assembly 200 in the network cable unlocking and locking device. The slider assembly 200 includes a locking part 240. When the network cable unlocking and locking device is installed on the network cable 600 in use, the locking part 240 can lock the crystal head spring arm 610 of the network cable 600 in use, so that the network cable 600 in use cannot be pressed out. The locking part 240 includes an unlocked position and a locked position. In the locked position, the locking part 240 abuts against the spring arm 610 of the network cable 600 RJ45 connector, and the RJ45 connector boss 620 and the protrusion 410 are interlocked, so that the network cable 600 is confined within the network cable mating hole 400. In the unlocked position, the locking part 240 separates from the spring arm 610 of the network cable 600 RJ45 connector, the cavity's accommodating height increases, and the network cable 600 can move within the network cable mating hole 400 to lock the network cable 600 in use, preventing unauthorized removal of the network cable 600. The network cable unlocking and locking device has a compact and simple structure, can lock and manage the network cable 600 in use, and makes the unlocking and locking status of the network cable unlocking and locking device visible, which is convenient for operators. Furthermore, the network cable unlocking and locking device is an external design, which can be installed by connecting the network cable 600 through the network cable mating hole 400. It can be directly installed and disassembled without modifying the original network interface or the structure of the network cable 600, which is convenient for maintenance and management.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, an installation gap 420 is provided below the network cable mating hole 400, so that the network cable unlocking device can be installed on the network cable 600 in use, making it convenient to unlock the network cable 600 in use.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the network cable unlocking device also includes a first unlocking structure 220, which is disposed on the slider assembly 200. The slider assembly 200 has an unlocking channel 230, which is adjacent to the lock hole 210. The lock housing 100 also includes a through hole 130, which communicates with the unlocking channel 230. The first unlocking structure 220 includes a locking member 221, such as... Figure 6 As shown, in the locked state, a portion of the locking element 221 is located within the unlocking channel 230, thus confining the slider assembly 200 within the mounting cavity 110; as Figures 7 to 8 As shown, in the unlocked state, the locking element 221 is entirely located within the through hole 130, allowing the slider assembly 200 to move within the mounting cavity 110. This utility model's technical solution, by setting the locking element 221, ensures that in the locked state, at least a portion of the locking element 221 is located within the through hole 130, confining the slider assembly 200 within the mounting cavity 110 to lock the in-use network cable 600, preventing unauthorized removal of the in-use network cable 600. In the unlocked state, the entire structure of the locking element 221 is located within the through hole 130, releasing the restriction on the slider assembly 200 within the mounting cavity 110, thus unlocking the in-use network cable 600. The network cable unlocking and locking device has a compact and simple structure, enabling locking management of the in-use network cable 600 and making the unlocking and locking status of the network cable unlocking and locking device visible, facilitating operation by personnel.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the network cable unlocking device further includes a second unlocking structure 120, which is located outside the mounting cavity 110 and close to the side where the network cable 600 is located. The network cable unlocking device includes a locked state and an unlocked state, such as... Figures 5 to 6 As shown, in the locked state, the second unlocking structure 120 engages with the slider assembly 200, confining the slider assembly 200 within the mounting cavity 110. Figures 7 to 8As shown, during unlocking, the unlocking key 500 is inserted into the lock hole 210 to compress the second unlocking structure 120, causing the second unlocking structure 120 to separate from the slider assembly 200, allowing the slider assembly 200 to move within the mounting cavity 110. This utility model's technical solution, by providing a second unlocking structure 120 in the lock housing 100 of the network cable unlocking device, ensures that in the locked state, the second unlocking structure 120 engages with the slider assembly 200, confining the slider assembly 200 within the mounting cavity 110 to lock the network cable 600 in use, preventing unauthorized removal of the network cable 600. During unlocking, the unlocking key 500 is inserted into the lock hole 210 to compress the second unlocking structure 120, causing the second unlocking structure 120 to separate from the slider assembly 200, allowing the slider assembly 200 to move within the mounting cavity 110 to unlock the network cable 600 in use. The network cable unlocking device has a compact and simple structure, occupying little space. The network cable interlocking device enables interlocking management without removing the existing network cable 600, and makes the interlocking status of the device visible, simplifying the operation process, facilitating operation, and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the interlocking and unlocking status of the device is visualized through the relative position changes of the slider assembly 200, greatly enhancing ease of use and security.

[0039] Furthermore, the present invention employs a two-stage locking structure, namely a second locking structure 120 and a first locking structure 220, in the network cable unlocking and locking device, thereby ensuring the stability and security of the device and effectively preventing unauthorized unlocking operations.

[0040] In this embodiment, to enable operators to more intuitively and conveniently observe the locking and unlocking status of the network cable unlocking and locking device, the lock housing 100 and the slider assembly 200 can be set to different and highly contrasting colors, such as red for the lock housing 100 and black for the slider assembly 200. In the locked state, the black slider assembly 200 is located within the mounting cavity 110 of the red lock housing 100 and does not protrude from the red lock housing 100; in the unlocked state, at least a portion of the structure of the black slider assembly 200 protrudes from the red lock housing 100, making the locking and unlocking status of the network cable unlocking and locking device more obvious, intuitive, and visual, facilitating operation by the operator. In other embodiments, different colors or forms of the lock housing 100 and slider assembly 200 can also be set according to actual needs to achieve a clear and intuitive technical effect in terms of the locking and unlocking status.

[0041] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the first unlocking / locking structure 220 further includes: a first magnetic element 222 and a locking pin 223. One end of the locking pin 223 abuts against the first magnetic element 222, and the other end abuts against the locking element 221. In the locked state, a portion of the locking element 221 is located within the unlocking / locking channel 230. When unlocking the network cable unlocking / locking device, as shown... Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the first magnetic component 222 can sequentially drive the locking pin 223 and the locking component 221 to move, so that the entire structure of the locking component 221 can be located within the through hole 130. This utility model's technical solution, by setting the first magnetic component 222 and the locking pin 223, allows the first magnetic component 222 to sequentially drive the locking pin 223 and the locking component 221 to move when the network cable unlocking device is unlocked, so that the entire structure of the locking component 221 is located within the through hole 130, thereby releasing the restriction on the slider assembly 200. In the locked state, part of the locking component 221 can be located within the through hole 130, and the other end of the locking pin 223 abuts against the locking component 221 to limit the slider assembly 200 to be located within the mounting cavity 110. The network cable unlocking device has a compact and simplified structure.

[0042] like Figures 7 to 8 As shown, the unlocking key 500 includes a second magnetic element 510, which has the same polarity as the first magnetic element 222. When unlocking the network cable unlocking device, the unlocking key 500 is inserted into the lock hole 210. Under the mutual repulsion of the magnetic forces of the second magnetic element 510 and the first magnetic element 222, the locking pin 223 can push the locking element 221 to move, so that the entire structure of the locking element 221 can be located within the through hole 130.

[0043] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the first unlocking structure 220 further includes a first elastic element 224. The first elastic element 224 is disposed inside the locking element 221, such as... Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the first elastic element 224 provides power for the partial structure of the locking element 221 to enter the unlocking channel 230. In this embodiment, the first elastic element 224 is a spring.

[0044] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the network cable unlocking and locking device further includes a second elastic element 300. In this embodiment, the second elastic element 300 is a spring. The second elastic element 300 is disposed within the mounting cavity 110 and abuts against one end of the slider assembly 200, as shown. Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the second elastic element 300 provides an elastic restoring force for the movement of the slider assembly 200, causing at least a portion of the slider assembly 200 to protrude from the mounting cavity 110, thereby unlocking the network cable unlocking device. This utility model's technical solution, by providing the second elastic element 300, as... Figure 6 As shown, in the locked state, the slider assembly 200 is confined within the mounting cavity 110, compressing the second elastic element 300; as Figures 7 to 8As shown, in the unlocked state, the unlocking key 500 is inserted into the lock hole 210, pressing the second unlocking structure 120, causing the second unlocking structure 120 to separate from the slider assembly 200. With the unlocking key 500 inserted into the lock hole 210, the locking pin 223, under the mutual repulsion of the magnetic forces of the second magnetic element 510 and the first magnetic element 222, can push the locking element 221 to move, so that the entire structure of the locking element 221 is located within the through hole 130, releasing the restriction on the slider assembly 200 within the mounting cavity 110. The elastic restoring force of the second elastic element 300 can push the slider assembly 200, causing at least a portion of the slider assembly 200 to protrude from the mounting cavity 110, thereby unlocking the in-use network cable 600, allowing the in-use network cable 600 to be pulled out from the network port.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the slider assembly 200 also includes a wireless chip 250. The wireless chip 250 is located above one side of the keyhole 210 and is used for identification, allowing the unlocking key to recognize it. This utility model's technical solution, by setting a wireless chip 250 within the slider assembly 200, with a unique code value within the chip 250, allows the unlocking key 500 to identify the unique code value within the wireless chip 250 in non-emergency unlocking scenarios. Only with authorization can the unlocking operation of the network cable unlocking device be performed, thus improving the intelligence and practicality of the network cable unlocking device.

[0046] In this embodiment, the width of the locking housing 100 is less than the width of one network port. By setting the width of the locking housing 100 to be less than the width of one network port, this utility model's technical solution allows the network cable unlocking and locking device to lock and install network cables 600 in use between adjacent network ports. It has a compact structure, occupies little space, and is suitable for various network interface-dense environments, thus improving the applicability of the network cable unlocking and locking device.

[0047] The specific unlocking and locking steps of the network cable unlocking and locking device are described below.

[0048] In existing technology, unplugging a network cable 600 typically involves first pressing the RJ45 connector spring arm 610 of the network cable 600, and then pulling out the network cable 600. In this technical solution, the network cable unlocking / locking device is installed on the network cable 600 through the network cable mating hole 400, and is pushed to the base of the RJ45 connector of the network cable 600. The locking part 240 includes an unlocked position and a locked position; the accommodating height of the cavity in the locked position is smaller than that in the unlocked position.

[0049] like Figure 6As shown, in the locked state, the locking part 240 abuts against the RJ45 connector spring arm 610 of the network cable, and the locking part 240 locks the bottom of the RJ45 connector spring arm 610 of the network cable 600. The small accommodating height of the cavity prevents the RJ45 connector spring arm 610 of the network cable 600 from being pressed down, thus preventing the network cable 600 from being pulled out of the network cable mating hole 400. The second unlocking structure 120 engages with the slider assembly 200, which is confined within the mounting cavity 110, pressing the second elastic element 300 to lock the network cable 600 in use, preventing unauthorized removal of the network cable 600 in use.

[0050] like Figures 7 to 8 As shown, in the unlocked state, the unlocking key 500 is inserted into the lock hole 210 to compress the second unlocking structure 120, causing the second unlocking structure 120 to separate from the slider assembly 200. Under the mutual repulsion of the magnetic forces of the second magnetic element 510 and the first magnetic element 222, the locking pin 223 can push the locking element 221 to move, so that the entire structure of the locking element 221 is located in the through hole 130. The elastic restoring force of the second elastic element 300 can push the slider assembly 200, releasing the limitation on the slider assembly 200 in the mounting cavity 110, so that at least a part of the structure of the slider assembly 200 protrudes out of the mounting cavity 110. With the increased height of the cavity, the spring arm 610 of the network cable 600's crystal head can be pressed down, the locking part 240 separates from the spring arm 610 of the network cable 600's crystal head, and the network cable 600 can move within the network cable mating hole 400 to unlock the in-use network cable 600, allowing the in-use network cable 600 to be pulled out from the network cable mating hole 400 and thus pulled out of the network port.

[0051] Furthermore, the network cable unlocking and locking device in this technical solution adopts a two-stage locking structure. The first unlocking and locking structure 220, under the action of the first elastic element 224, causes the locking element 221 to be engaged between the through hole 130 and the unlocking and locking channel 230, preventing the locking part 240 from retracting, thus locking the RJ45 connector of the network cable 600. When unlocking the network cable unlocking and locking device, the unlocking key 500 is inserted into the lock hole 210. The second magnetic element 510 on the unlocking key 500 generates a repulsive force with the first magnetic element 222, thereby sequentially pushing the first magnetic element 222, the locking pin 223, and the locking element 221, so that the locking element 221 is completely positioned within the through hole 130. The second elastic element 300 pushes the slider assembly 200 out of the mounting cavity 110. At this time, the locking part 240 releases the restriction on the RJ45 connector spring arm 610 of the network cable 600. In the locked state, the second unlocking structure 120 engages with the slider assembly 200, so that the slider assembly 200 is confined within the mounting cavity 110; in the unlocked state, the unlocking key 500 is inserted into the lock hole 210 and presses the second unlocking structure 120, so that the second unlocking structure 120 is separated from the slider assembly 200, and at least a portion of the structure of the slider assembly 200 protrudes from the mounting cavity 110.
